First Holy Communion & Reconciliation

If your child will be eight or over before the end of August 2023 and you wish for them to make their First Holy Communion, please complete an application form for this year’s programme. Forms are available from the back of the Church or from the school office. They need to be returned to the Parish Office, or in the box provided in school or church.

The initial meeting will be on Sunday 18th September after the 10.30 Mass at St Joseph’s when the programme for the year ahead will be shared.

If you would like to discuss this further, please speak to your child’s class teacher or catch me at the Meet the Teacher meetings next week.

We are delighted to be able to invite you into school over the next couple of weeks to meet with your child’s class teacher and find out about what’s in store for this year in their new year group.

At the meeting you will hear about what your child will be learning over the coming year, class routines, timetables, year group expectations and other relevant information. It is also a great opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have.

The meetings have been arranged on different nights so that parents can attend for all of their children.

The meetings will be straight after school.

It was lovely to welcome most of our children back to school today and we look forward to getting to know our newest children in Reception tomorrow.

Over the summer the school has undergone extensive improvements to the building. All of our classrooms are now freshly painted with St Vincent de Paul and St Oscar Romero having new carpets too. You may have noticed that the external walls have been painted, giving a much needed lift to the main entrance of the school.

We have also had new internal doors and windows fitted in many parts of the school too.

At the far end of the school, the library, staffroom and Breakfast and After School Club (BASC) room have been stripped, refurbished and redecorated. I look forward to sharing images of our library as it evolves.
